3DSMax: Apex SDK/PhysX plugin crashing/installation problem
Hello everyone, I have managed to fix my issue, please disregard this. I am just going to write my solution for anyone else who encounters the same problem.

3dsmax - Cat Rig - Am I not supposed to skin the body mesh to the ribcage?
I don't understand the ribcage when it comes to skinning. Am I supposed to skin to the ribcage, spine3 and spine4 OR do I just leave the ribcage out of the skinning and just use it as a controller? I've been trying to find documentation on this, but having trouble. I will update this post if I figure it out. -

It's now driving me insane and I… -
Re: How long to learn Houdini?
I personally spent some time studying Houdini decade or more ago but found a company would be reluctant to build their toolset on Houdini base. Same story in a way with Substance Designer actually which nobody uses really but me. Then I found all I ever wanted to do in Houdiny like complex arrays and scatter systems are… -
3dsmax 2018 to unity 2017.1 Pivot problems
I have a file in Max2018 which I am trying to import into unity . Normally I would rotate the pivot by 90 degrees on the x-axis, set the asix conversion in the fbx export to Z-up, and that would have the object come with 0,0,0 rotation atributes in unity. But it looks like max 2018's exporter is conflicting with unity and… -
Consumer ATI cards + 3dsmax normal maps
I've been working on normal mapping stuff here lately, and I've noticed some issues with viewing normal maps in the viewport (using Ben Cloward's FX files).
